I have a friend who was in a christian sorority in college (which I'm assuming is pretty similar to one of these BJU societies - fellowship, praying together, community service, etc.). But my friend said that it was basically a way to gossip and pass judgment on other people's behavior... " Let's all pray for Jodi because she succumbed to the devil this weekend and stayed out at a mixed social 10 mins past cerfew." My friend ended up dropping out cause she felt that the whole thing was basically a corruption of real christian values.
The thing I find disturbing about BJU is that the whole place reeks of sexism. The brochure repeatedly describes female students as "girls," but refers to the male students as "men." Also, the part about not having your mom unpack your stuff is directed to mothers of sons but not to mothers of daughters. Men can wear shorts to play sports and for recreation but women cannot been seen in shorts unless they are in the sports center or in the dorms(I guess if you want to go to the sports center you have to bring a change of clothes). There is a nurse assigned to the women's dorm but not the men's (I'm assuming this is either for "swooning spells" or "women's troubles").
